And in Monaco, and in some places of the EU and USA.

yeah, I had been to Australia-it is a very nice ”land of racists”.

Pierre,

I feel your Australian observations are correct as far as none local responses at M. Kerjman’s works on, for example, these pages yet to have been found.

To fill this gap of ignorance I had undertaken some Aussie search and at least the following articles on mere xenophobic racist cheating factually deteriorating a health and affecting a life expectancy or non-Anglos in Australia could have been of relevance here:

“Foreign students being exploited
· Tom Arup
· June 12, 2008
NEARLY 60% of international students in Victoria could be receiving below minimum wage rates, a study by Monash and Melbourne university academics has revealed.
Interviews with 200 international students drawn from nine universities across Victoria revealed that up to 58.1% of students surveyed were paid below $15 an hour, with 33.9% receiving less than $10 an hour.
The results from a $3 million Australian Research Council-funded study come just a month after hundreds of taxi drivers, many of whom were students from India, protested against conditions in their industry outside Flinders Street station.
The study also found:
■ International students are often pressured to take jobs not wanted by domestic workers.
■ At least a third work more than the 20 hours allowed under study visas, forcing them to take jobs ”off the books” with no industrial relations protection.
■ The influx of international students working outside industrial relations controls adversely affects overall conditions in the workforce.
■ The problems started in 1991 when international students rights in the workplace were narrowly defined as the ”right to work” by the federal government. …
”The Rudd Government has shown no sign of recognising this as an issue,” Professor Nyland said. ”There was a 94-page higher education discussion document (from the Rudd Government) that was issued. I have gone through that and there is lots of references to international education, lots of references to international student fees, nothing in there about international student welfare.”
The office of acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard — who is also Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and Minister for Education — did not return The Age’s request for comment yesterday.
Victorian Workplace Rights Advocate Tony Lawrence said a number of complaints about exploitation had been made to his office by international students. He also said he was aware of some employers asking $200 for certificates verifying employment which is often needed as part of immigration conditions. …”

“Culturally Inclusive Emergency Management School Resources - Teacher Guide
Students
What is covered in this section?
This section presents some of the key life experiences and challenges faced by young students from culturally diverse backgrounds which may assist to inform your teaching of emergency management. …
Racism
Racism is an ever-present reality for young people from culturally diverse backgrounds and impacts on identity development. Young people relate experiences of harassment, violence, teasing and the general feeling that they do not belong. …
They also feel they are judged by stereotypes or by the behaviour of a few, particularly in the media. Racism affects young people’s self-esteem, self-confidence and sense of connection and belonging to the broader community.
…
As part of their anti-racism work, Western Young People’s Independent Network (WYPIN) asks young people about their experiences of racism. Some comments they have recorded include:
People automatically assume that I can’t speak English and speak to me really slowly, just because I wear a hijab. (18 year old young person of Somali background).
I’ve had people at school, even people I thought were my friends, tell me that Asians are taking over Australia. How would Australians feel if they had a war and weren’t let into another country so they could survive? (Young male of East Timorese background)
Strangers on the street will tell me to go back to my own country. ‘Which country is that?’ I ask them. ‘I was born and raised here’. I’m sick of feeling like I don’t belong in Australia. (Young woman of Eritrean background)
I had just walked into the shop when a security guard asked me to leave. (17 year old of Sudanese background)
Young people from culturally diverse backgrounds report feeling they are seen as a threat when they are simply ‘hanging out’ with their friends. They feel targeted by police and security and relate this problem to their high visibility and the prevailing stereotypes that young men from culturally diverse backgrounds are involved in gangs and are violent. …”

“More than tolerance: Embracing diversity for health


Discrimination is a health issue
Victoria has a longstanding and positive record in welcoming newcomers. By-and-large we have enjoyed harmonious inter-cultural relations and benefited significantly from the social, cultural and economic contributions of migrants and refugees. Nevertheless the research in the VicHealth report More than tolerance: Embracing diversity for health
suggests many people from migrant and refugee backgrounds experience discrimination and intolerance and this is compromising their health. …”


Although highlighting the issues by officially privileged is a sign of democracy and freedom themselves, traditional Anglo-British self-obscuring on these racial topics makes no progress in Anglo-semi-colonies till know as clear for any neutral observer surely.

Hi Michael,
Do you mean to say the recent attacks on Indian males is connected to Gambling and Sex? I can understand education being devalued as the students may lack english knowledge and come from rural background.
Can you explain please? thanks
